How SureTel works with your industry

Use the Industry Solution Finder above, the decision table below, or request a quote for a mixed requirement.
Problems this solves
What we hear across industries
- Different industries have different voice, internet and continuity priorities that get lumped together.
- POS, bookings, dispatch or campaign tools depend on connectivity that hasn't been matched to the site.
- Voice and internet sit with separate suppliers — support and billing become messy.
- Compliance, recording or retention requirements aren't part of the original voice setup.
- Multi-site businesses want consistent calling without re-platforming every branch.
- Call-centre or sales teams need a dialler suited to their volume and campaigns.

How to think about it
Service first, then site
Voice and dialler services — Cloud PBX, VoIP, Hosted VICIdial — are not tied to a physical site. They apply across industries because the system lives in the cloud and your users connect from wherever they work. That's why we recommend nailing down the service shape first.
Connectivity is the opposite: every site is its own feasibility question. Fibre, wireless, licensed microwave and LTE/5G depend on the address, the available networks, line-of-sight and the installation work involved. So we confirm options per site rather than promise them across an area.
All prices shown excluding VAT unless stated otherwise. Connectivity availability and pricing are subject to address feasibility.
At a glance
Cloud PBX vs Onsite PBX vs Hosted VICIdial
| Dimension | Cloud PBX | Onsite PBX | Hosted VICIdial |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voice consistency | Same system across sites and users | Tied to one physical site | For agent teams, not general office voice |
| Setup time | Quick to provision | Hardware install + configuration | Provisioning + agent / campaign setup |
| Site dependency | Works wherever users have internet | Tied to the office's PBX | Hosted; tied to qualifying agent capacity |
| Where price is fixed | Per extension, from R60 excl. VAT | Price on request — depends on hardware | Per agent, indicative from-price |
| Best fit | Most offices, branches, hybrid teams | Specific compliance / hardware needs | Outbound / inbound call-centre work |

Industry FAQs
Common questions
Does SureTel only work with specific industries?
No. SureTel works with South African businesses across many industries. The Industries Hub highlights common patterns we see — but the underlying services (Cloud PBX, VoIP, Hosted VICIdial, business connectivity) apply broadly. If your industry isn't listed, request a quote and we'll match the right services to your requirement.
How do I know which service my industry should start with?
Use the Industry Solution Finder near the top of this page, or the decision table further down. Each option points to the canonical service page where you can review what's included. For mixed requirements, a quote request is the fastest path.
Is business connectivity available everywhere SureTel serves?
Connectivity options — fibre, wireless, licensed microwave, LTE/5G — are confirmed per business address through a feasibility check. They are not treated as universally available across any region.
Can SureTel handle multi-site businesses?
Yes. Cloud PBX and VoIP are well suited to multi-site businesses because they aren't tied to a single physical office. Connectivity at each site is still assessed per address.
Are SureTel's prices VAT inclusive?
No. All published prices are shown excluding VAT unless stated otherwise. Final pricing depends on users, sites, hardware, connectivity feasibility and SLA.
Does SureTel offer industry-specific compliance?
SureTel provides standard SA-licensed ISP and telecoms services. Where an industry has specific recording, retention or continuity requirements, raise them in your enquiry so they're factored into the recommendation.
